	Silver Star Overview You can easily fall in love with Silver Star’s fairytale village. Inspired by a typical nineteenth century British Columbian mining town era with Victorian architecture, this town is a true winter wonderland. Brightly coloured store fronts and boarded sidewalks provide a unique ambiance that radiates fun, enthusiasm and excitement for the whole family. Guests are attracted to the warmth and safety of the town where service and friendliness are as honoured as the values of a time gone by. It’s the size of your smile that counts at Silver Star.

Wednesday 14th January 07:00 – 09:00	Breakfast Topic: What’s Biting You? Speaker: Associate Professor Geoff Ramin Content: Australia is home to some of the world’s most dangerous and venomous creatures. This case history based session provides an overview of the management of snake, spider and marine based envenomation both in the field and in the hospital. A number of less common envenomations will also be discussed.

Thursday 15th January 07:00 – 09:00	Breakfast Topic: Airway Management – From the Simple to the Sublime Speaker: Associate Professor Drew Richardson Content: There is a reason why A always comes first in the ABC’s. This session looks at the whole spectrum of airway management from simple manoeuvres that can be performed in any environment through to advanced techniques requiring highly specialised equipment and extensive experience. Learn to develop an appropriate airway management algorithm for your practice environment and more importantly how to initiate an appropriate failed intubation drill.

Friday 16th January 07:00 – 09:00	Breakfast Topic: Myths in Emergency Medicine Speaker: Associate Professor Geoff Ramin Content: A myth is a story or belief, or body of stories or beliefs, that has no demonstrated basis in fact, but is accepted as true. Medicine is of course full of myths. This session will discuss many of the common myths that currently exist in the practice of Emergency Medicine and the impact that the acceptance of these myths has had on clinical practice. It is hoped that this session will generate significant involvement with participants.
